Chapter 407 Fierce Battle
"But..." Ah Man was worried about leaving the princess here alone. If she left, Prince Yu would soon find out. What would the princess do then? Prince Yu was a cruel man. Once he found out that the princess had betrayed him... Ah Man could imagine the consequences with her toes.

Ah Ruan decisively interrupted her: "Ah Man, this is an order. It concerns the future of South Vietnam. Go quickly. If you don't leave, I will die in front of you."

With tears in his eyes, Ah Man took one last look at the princess, stamped his feet, and turned away.

"Ah Man, be careful." Ah Ruan couldn't help but remind him.

Ah Man paused, turned around and said, "Princess, please take care. Ah Man will be back after completing the mission."

"Don't come back..."

But Ah Man had disappeared into the night.

Ah Ruan stared blankly at the inky night, praying silently, praying that Ah Man could leave the house safely. Her strength was meager, and this was all she could do. She kept saying that she was doing it for South Vietnam, but only she knew that what she hoped more was that the man would be safe, as well as Sister Yaoyao, Brother Chunyu, and all the people she liked, the people she wanted to cherish, to be safe...

Sure enough, not long after Ah Man left, Prince Yu got the news, rushed over angrily, and kicked the door open.

A'ruan was already lying on the bed, pretending to be asleep.

The loud noise made her heart jump. She pretended to be frightened and asked, "Ah Man, what's going on?"

Prince Yu took two steps at a time and came to the bedside, grabbed A'ruan by the collar, and asked fiercely: "Where is A'man?"

Ah Ruan asked inexplicably, "Isn't Ah Man outside? Where is Ah Man?"

"You are still pretending. Tell me, where did you send A'man to go?" Prince Yu absolutely did not believe A'ruan's words. A'man was a loyal servant and would never leave his post without A'ruan's order.

It was his negligence. He didn't expect that Ah Man was an expert in Qing Kung Fu. The secret sentry in the mansion spotted Ah Man and chased after him, but still lost him.

He never expected that A'ruan would betray him. Although he did not dote on her, he had never treated her harshly. As for women, a man should follow his wife wherever she goes. No matter what happened between her and Helian Jing before, she was already his woman. He did not expect that she would stab him in the back at such a critical moment.

This made Prince Yu furious and he could no longer bear it.

"Tell me, did you ask A'man to find Helian Jing?" Prince Yu asked viciously.

"I don't know what you are talking about." A Ruan pretended to be confused.

"Bitch." Prince Yu raised his hand and slapped Ah Ruan with such force that she fell to the ground. Five bright red fingerprints immediately appeared on her fair face.

Ah Ruan pursed her lips, her eyes full of resentment, and stared fearlessly at this man, this so-called lover of hers, whose heart was as cold as ice, as hard as iron, and as cruel as a wolf. An ambitious man.

Although he was the Prince of Yu and was very arrogant, in her eyes, he was not even as good as Xiao Jing.

"I don't know what you are talking about. If you insist on putting the blame on me, I have nothing to say." A Ruan said coldly.

Prince Yu laughed in anger, a cold laugh: "Just keep pretending. Tomorrow, when Helian Jing's head falls off, I will give it to you. Don't you like him very much? Don't you want to see him very much? I can pickle his head with lime, so that you can see him every day. I am doing this for you, shouldn't you thank me?"

If she had a knife in her hand right now, she would stab a big hole in his chest without hesitation. He was simply a devil.

Aruan gritted her teeth and said nothing. She had already prepared for the worst. If Xiaojing died, if this devil took over the world, she would commit suicide immediately and would never live in disgrace.

Use her death to warn South Vietnam.

She is not afraid of death.

Prince Yu originally wanted to provoke her with vicious words, but this woman had amazing self-control and said nothing.

Prince Yu snorted heavily: "Come here, take care of the princess. If anything happens to her, you will all die."

He can't let her die now, but when it's done, he will make her live a life worse than death.

No one can betray him, and all those who betray him will pay a terrible price.

Ah Man struggled to shake off the people in the palace and headed straight for Prince Helian's Palace, but Prince Jing was not there. Upon hearing this, Princess Yi De immediately sent someone to inform Xiao Jing who was guarding the city gate and Xia Chunyu who was guarding the palace.

Although Ah Man did not meet Prince Jing, once the message from the princess was delivered, she had to take her leave.

"No, you can't leave." Yi De grabbed her and said firmly.

"I must go back, the princess is alone..." Ah Man was eager to go home.

Yide said: "You are stupid. If you don't go back, the princess can still find excuses to shirk responsibility. If you go back, then the evidence is irrefutable. You will definitely die, and the princess will not survive either."

Ah Man was so anxious that she burst into tears: "What should we do?"

Yide said, "You just stay here and don't go anywhere, Princess. We will find a way to rescue her. Even if she doesn't deliver this message today, we won't watch her get into trouble."

As a mother, I know my son's thoughts best. Xiaojing will never sit idly by and do nothing about Aruan. It's not that Xiaojing wants to do anything with Aruan, after all, Aruan is the Princess of Yu. However, it is imperative to save Aruan's life.

At three quarters past midnight, the gates of the imperial palace were all attacked and the enemy's attack was fierce.

"Sure enough, he moved." Xia Chunyu's eyes were cold, and a fierce fighting spirit emanated from his whole body.

Naya said: "If there is no spy, this palace gate is not so easy to break. However, there are attacks everywhere, and the attack on the north gate is the strongest. But I think Prince Yu's plan is not that simple."

Xia Chunyu nodded and said, "There must be a backup plan." "Everyone listen to my orders. No matter what happens ahead, everyone must defend Zichen Palace and never retreat a single step."

"Yes." A thousand guards responded with loud voices, shaking the whole building and scaring the crows and sparrows roosting under the eaves to fly away.

Luo Kewu, who was attacking at the north gate, anxiously asked his men, "Have the reinforcements arrived?"

"Your Excellency, they haven't arrived yet."

Damn it, where are the three hundred elite soldiers? The battle has already started, but there is no sign of them. Where is the insider? Even now, they haven't even rushed into the palace.

Originally according to Prince Yu's deployment, the North Gate was the place that had to be broken. If they couldn't attack it and create chaos, then Yu Hai's chances of winning would be several percentage points smaller.

Luo Kewu cursed but had to continue attacking.

Little did he know that the so-called 300 elite soldiers had already been eliminated by Chunfeng and Jiu Ye's men using incense, cartilage powder, and group beatings.

The so-called traitor had been killed, and his body was lying behind this door.

Yu Hai and others who were lying in ambush in the tunnel had been waiting for news, but the scheduled time had passed and there was still no movement at all, and they all became anxious.

Damn it, never mind, let’s just get out of here first.

This tunnel was secretly built by Prince Yu at the request of masters from the Jiangzuo League. It took more than three years to build, just for this day when it would come in handy.

Indeed, the most important part of Prince Yu's deployment was this surprise force. They attacked from all sides. As long as there was an insider who could open the palace gate, even just a crack, they could march straight in and create chaos. Then this surprise force suddenly appeared in the palace and caught Xia Chunyu off guard.

However, all the internal spies failed and were wiped out by Xia Chunyu. The reason why he didn't take action before was to paralyze Prince Yu.

A surprise force is a surprise force. Although it did not achieve the expected effect, the sudden appearance of 600 people in front of Xia Chunyu still scared him.

Oh my god, there is a secret passage.

There is always a loophole. The palace is so heavily guarded, how did Prince Yu manage to dig out such a passage without making any noise?
There is no point in reflecting at this point. With a powerful enemy ahead, we can only fight to the death.

"Crossbowmen, get ready."

Xia Chunyu immediately calmed down and took command of the battle.

Sharp arrows were like rain, shot in volleys, one row after another broke through the air, followed by the second row, and it continued in an endless stream.

This type of volley is extremely lethal to unprotected enemies, just like cutting leeks.

However, the dozen or so people rushing in the front danced their swords so well that not a single arrow could penetrate them. Ding ding ding... a large number of feather arrows were shot down, and only a few penetrated the gaps and hit the people rushing up from the back row.

Xia Chunyu's eyes were blurred into a line, and the cold stars were pressing in. He couldn't help but clench the long sword in his hand.

"There are experts here, everyone pay attention, it's an iron bucket formation."

With these masters around, the archers he carefully arranged were no longer of much use, and he could only resort to close combat.

Naya also drew out her two swords, took a stance, and stood beside Xia Chunyu.

Come on, master, let me teach you a lesson.

A fierce battle broke out in the palace.

At this time, the West City Gate was the only place that had not been attacked. The deputy commander of the Five Cities Patrol Division stood on the top of the city wall and carefully listened to the movements below. When he saw three flashes of fire in the distance, he was startled and made a gesture to his subordinates.

The men understood and immediately ran down the city wall, preparing to open the city gate.

At this moment, a sharp arrow came from the darkness and pierced the heart. Then, several more sharp arrows came and killed all the soldiers guarding the gate. The attack came so suddenly that the soldiers fell down without even making a sound.

The deputy commander's attention was all outside the city. He saw hundreds of special forces rushing towards this side and soon arrived at the gates of the city.

But why did they stop suddenly? Why didn't they go into the city?

The deputy commander was immediately furious. Damn it, these bastards are so slow in opening the door. Just as he was about to turn around to check, a long knife with a cold glow was placed on his neck.

"Deputy Commander Wang, where are you going?" Helian Jing sneered at the surprised deputy commander.

"Jing...Prince Jing...General, I have discovered the enemy and am about to report it."

Helian Jing sneered, "Is it the enemy? Aren't they your friendly forces?"

"Prince Jing..." Deputy Commander Wang was about to explain when he felt a chill on his neck and a stream of blood spurted out. He fell straight down with his eyes wide open.

I couldn't believe it until I died. My life was coming to an end like this.

Helian Jing retracted his sword and shouted loudly: "The enemy is attacking, archers, release your arrows..."
